...that close friends bring. William Bender, 71, a retired journalism professor at Bradley University in Peoria, Ill., winces at the thought of abandoning his circle of friends for the Sun Belt. Bender joins about seven or eight pals for a lunch date every month. And Friday afternoons there is bratwurst and "a lot of beers" with a dozen friends at a local German restaurant called the Hofbrau.

We were chatting about Westerns and cowboys one day in broken English--my German goes no further than "bier" and "bratwurst"--when he told me of his son's "cowboy coloring book." I was encouraged, to say the least, that America had given this exemplar of the strenuous life an untainted character worthy of his children's admiration (I never saw his son without a red John Wayne neckerchief). But then Christoph...
